As COVID-19 has spread into a global pandemic, many of us have turned to sewing to keep things feeling as “normal” and familiar as possible. If you’ve been following us on the Shannon Fabrics Facebook page, you’ve likely tuned in to watch our National Educator sew some fun new projects in real time every Tuesday as we try to give at-home sewists something to look forward to and keep busy with.

This week, continuing Sew Together Tuesday with another must-watch mini-series, Teresa shares her tips and tricks for creating the cutest stuffed animal elephant. We can’t think of anything that would make self-quarantine more enjoyable!

Affectionately named “Ellie Elephant”, this sew-at-home elephant stuffy was designed by our friends over at Funky Friends Factory. The pattern can be found for “instant download” here, and it looks (and feels) great sewn with Cuddle® and Luxe Cuddle® in classic elephant hues, or even louder, more colorful designs as Teresa has done below.
